Presented at the
23rd International Conference on Optical Fibre Sensors (June 2014)

The polarimetric sensing characteristics of multi-mode-fiber based tilted fiber Bragg grating (MMF-TFBG) have been analyzed and experimentally demonstrated. The physical "enlarged" fiber core enables the tilted gratings to excite multi high-order core modes with significantly different polarization dependence and well-defined "comb" profiles which are spectrally separated at different wavelength. Orientation-recognized twist/rotation measurement (-90° to 90°) has been achieved with sensitivity of 0.075 dB/deg by using a cost-effective double-path power detection (power monitoring of two orthogonal-polarimetric odd core-modes, i.e. LP11 and LP12).
